I am a retired firearms/unified tactics/rapid deployment instructor for a large Sheriffs Office. Some of your theories hold water but some are a little too broad in scope. My Department had all the major ammo manufacturers out at our range. We did gel, Sheetrock and various other ballistic testing. We found that the Winchester Silver tip 9mm 124 grain hollow point were the best for human targets. Yes, we tested .45, 10mm, .40, .380, .357 etc etc. The problem children of the group was 9 pellet double 00 buck and .45 acp. They both penetrated over 13 complete sheet rock walls. .223 broke up within 2 double sided walls. My point is this, there is no such thing as “shocking or knock down power”. We found that no matter the caliber, shot placement was key (obviously). Shot placement should always be in the “CNS” or central nervous system. Tip of the nose to the belly button in a straight line. The triangle of the eyes and chin is best. We trained to hit those areas. What I always told my fellow Deputies was this. “Aim small”, “miss small”. Don’t aim at a “person”, aim at the top button of their shirt, tip of the nose etc etc. you’ll be surprised how natural point of aim can be so accurate.

[@LTCDRRAZOR]

Having quite literally watched as a Glock 17 discharged into my chest, at contact range, as in against my cheat, and my body absorbing every single ounce of energy as the bullet came to a complete stop, within me, I can tell you for a fact, that despite it being a 125 grains speer gold dot, +p, I did not move at all from that muzzle. Though it did do a good amount of damage within me.

I still think this system would absolutely SHINE in one of the chassis systems, particularly in the Meta or the P-iX. Having their binary system in my PTR, and also not owning a single Glock, I don't have a reason to acquire one of these, but I can see these being pretty popular.

Linked to GB guns and saw the GP with this product installed. Going to read about it now. That platform,I just might be able to get on board with .Should make for some very short yet fun range trips. The dust from the gravel road entrance at the out door range I go to,when I do go to a range,has usually settled before I’m heading back out.With one of these FA/GP setups,have a feeling my truck is gonna get some of my own entrance dust on it while exiting..Gotta read it ,but with enough training ,that combo could probably have some real life benefits in certain situations.These are the days .A lot of variety for sure!Have a good one.

[@GBGuns]

Yes, with as controllable as a Stribog is, it's an excellent combination. I have a video on that too coming Saturday.

[@earldelsanto]

Last demo......hell yes!

[@MrFreefonix420]

I reccomend using a steel guide rod for all the folks planning on using this for fast shooting training, the excessive heat build up can melt your stock plastic rod, its just very thin and heat builds up around it fast.

I'm being really picky, but I hate the huge "Franklin Armory" billboard on the side. Other than that, It does seem to be well thought out. I like the indicator on the back of the slide. Its great that it is optic ready. Honestly, my opinion is that if a person is going all in on a build like this, you might as well spend the extra $250-300 on a tax stamp and engraving, so you had the option to put a stock on it.

[@yourneighbourhooddoomer]

@@AWFMEMPHIS "2nd half of this statement is pretty offensive wording wise" How exactly? It's just the truth.

[@NG..]

@@AWFMEMPHIS first of all- that wasn’t offensive. But most importantly, my best advice would be to not carry an automatic or binary gun. When you need a gun for self defense, you don’t want to mag dump. You want to be able to conserve your ammo and make accurate shots. That keeps you in the fight for longer and limits potential danger to bystanders. A switch isn’t useful in 99% of self defense scenarios- it’s only useful for assassinations or ambushes.

[@markreynolds6715]

Good vid. Its an excellent tool. Like any tool you have to be adebt using it. With the right ammo it would be something id use for charging bear. The extra shot or two could be just enough to save your rear. And its fun.

[@dart336]

for the price they charge, a barrel and rod should come with it

[@GBGuns]

Or you could look at it as: For the price you're paying for R&D, unique parts, a unique trigger and slide assembly for a little more than the price a quality slide was a few years ago.

Cool thing to have for ppl who have the disposable income,like you mentioned..Not something that interests me personally (at this time,no matter the cost or amount of money I have/don’t have.Or any Glock,for that matter rather have more ammo to shoot in some of my other guns )BUT,keeping an open mind..As always. Thanks for sharing us different things that are on the market though. Take care GB. PS. Saw the OG Dangers tour of the AR manufacturing plant & the really nice guns that they make that you were visiting that same day. One where that lady put the heat to a PSA AR that OG already had & swapped out the barrel for one of theres. The 2Kish AR that’s supposedly relatively light weight and,if someone purchases one,you have the option to have it upgraded with any new & improved parts,for life for free …That gun appears to have a lot of thought/engineering involved in its creation. Going to be looking into that one deeper. Try & find a dealer and get one in hand. Respect & value all of your knowledge and experience…Also OG’s. Take care and keep up the good work G.

Awesome informational video. Franklin Armory is a quality manufacturer. The binary trigger kit is definitely not inexpensive,, however it's a legal way to rapidly fire your Glock 17.

A lot of people don't know that the Glock 17 and the Glock 18 have a slightly different frame. Apparently, the Glock 18 has longer rails for more reinforcement. I think this kit should be tested and one of the "shoot it until it breaks meltdown videos."

Their binary trigger didn't work in my PC Charger. Sent them the gun, got it back minus their parts & a full refund. They blamed Ruger. Be wary of QC

[@Critical-Defense]

Be wary of Franklin Armory QC or Ruger QC? I have a PC Charger too and considered the FA binary, I’m not on it for the price they want for it at FA though. Soon enough the market will be flooded with low quality lesser known manufacturers overseas and high quality well known manufacturers in the U.S., both copying the FA Binary’s design then tweaking design or materials to loophole the patent. I’d expect the high quality binaries to drive FA’s price down far af, similar to Geissele’s triggers dropping in price or losing market share with the release of the Larue MBT for $100. And the low quality binaries will drive the price of the high quality binaries down at the same time, hopefully. I got burnt on the Geissele triggers for $300-$400 before the Larue MBT came out and am not biting that bait ever again. I still love the Geissele’s but only at the $200 max price point. Any more than that and I default to Larue’s MBT trigger for $100.

Got a oddball question.
